Outdoor therapy training is an immersive workshop for qualified counsellors, allied mental health professionals and coaches working with adults who wish to take their practice outside (trainees who passed the course and are awaiting their certificate are invited to enquire). While building your toolbox, in this three-day workshop, we will look at what skills can be transferable in an outdoor scenario and the rationale behind how we work outdoors so you can build a practice that works for you. 

The residential workshop explores how to leverage ecological awareness, somatic experience, nature connection, and social justice principles to enhance your therapeutic work outdoors.

Throughout the training, you will engage in experiential activities, embodied practices, and nature-based experiences that deepen your understanding and give you the tools to take your practice outside. You will learn how to foster a deeper connection with nature and the body, incorporate ecological mindfulness into your practice, and explore the intersectionality of social and environmental justice within therapeutic contexts while confidently and safely assessing and managing risk, route planning and keeping time.

You are invited to look at the event page on my website, where you will be able to learn more and book your place.
